Computer Viruses
Almost all of the computer viruses that you will be exposed to will arrive in the form of files attached to an incoming Email. The golden rule is: "Don't open any attachments that you are not expecting to receive, or that are not attached to personalized Email explaining what the attachment is, and why it is being sent to you." If you believe that you have discovered a computer virus, please contact the Automation department.
